In this section, I will explain how to do Powerwash and also what happens when you do it. Powerwash is the official version of Chrome OS factory reset. Here are the things that will be changed back to their defaults: Under the section “Reset,” click Reset.Your saved bookmarks and passwords won’t be cleared or changed. This does not affect how your login to your Chromebook, your Chromebook specific settings like your wallpaper or login accounts etc. In such situations, you can reset your Chrome browser. Occasionally, the settings can get clogged up or a sly extension might take over your browser and start showing advertisements or popups on every page that you visit. Google Chrome that’s on your Chromebook is similar to Chrome on Windows or Mac, save for a few differences. These files and folders are stored locally on your Chromebook’s SSD and will be erased with Powerwash and Recovery (two types of resets that we will discuss in detail). You will need to back up the contents in the Downloads folder. Anything that you have opted not to sync, will have to be backed up manually. After the reset, when you sign back in, everything should come back. If you have signed into Chrome and opted to sync everything, (bookmarks, history, and passwords etc), these are stored in Google Cloud. This article assumes that you have backed up anything that you have stored on your Chromebook.
So, if you have this message on your Chromebook, don’t panic, you can create a recovery media and get your Chromebook back to how it was when you got it. This is a clear sign that you need to use recovery mode to reset your Chromebook. Based on the situation itself, the type of reset suggested also will vary. There are different situations where a reset is recommended. Hence, you will occasionally see Chromebook experts recommending a reset.
